I don't think they mean move to a place more affordable out side of SF, but move away from SF to another part of the country.
There's no way to win, except maybe temporarily exploiting an arbitrage opportunity (i.e., a place with jobs but the cost of living hasn't caught up yet). Expecting people to do this is unreliable at an individual level, and disastrous as public policy.
Ultimately the only mid- to long-term solution is to help make job centers cheaper to live in.
